An unexpected treat.

Rating: 8/10 (31 August 2001)

I nearly abandoned viewing this picture. The early scenes felt artificial and forced, the story seemed disjointed and a bit strange.
But I stayed with it and I am very glad that I did. The picture is "movie impressionsim," I think, where linear thinking really doesn't matter very much. The culminating philosophical perspective is refreshingly different and worth waiting for. This is a very beautiful film to view and the characters grew to be special people for me. The music was fabulous. Highly recommended.
